Ep 1313 - Hauk eyes just six others in Irish Oaks

Tom in for Nick and joined initially by broadcaster Jane Mangan to
assess a field of seven declared for this Saturday's Juddmonte
Irish Oaks. We ask why so few are up against the Epsom winner
Minnie Hauk and also ask similar quetions re field size for the
repositioned GAIN Railway Stakes which used to take place on Irish
Derby Day. We hear from Andy Slattery who sends out Powerful Nation
in the Sapphire Stakes as well as Easy in Sunday's Minstrel Stakes
and trainer Jonathan Portman joins us to talk of the supplemented
Rumstar in the Sapphire. Jane and Tom discuss news of UK attendance
figures being up for the first six months of the year and also the
news that clients of John Dance are set to receive £6.3m from
Barclays. It's Summer Plate weekend and Ollie Murphy looks set to
have the favourite for the big hurdle and the chase and he is along
to speak on both horses. Plus Richard Hughes joins to look ahead to
running horses at Newbury in both the Hackwood and the Super Sprint
and he gives an update on targets for his stars No Half Measures
